Batman put on your seat belts for this one - Batman Begins Reviews

The transfer of Comic books to the screen is difficult. The actor who plays the Dark Knight is the most realistic person that I've seen of the Batman Movie or TV series that brings to life the crisis that moves with dark images/events throughout the film. You can truly sense the duality of his Billionaire personality and need to bring justice to a deteriorating Gotham city. Liam Neeson is brilliant as the Head of the Legion of Shadows. Gary Oldham plays a good cop in a city of payoffs and corruption as a young Lt./Sgt Gordon. Morgan Freeman is outstanding in his subtle brilliance as Mr. Fox who understands humbly how all the gadgets Mr. Wayne was developing work and mentors the young Bruce Wayne. Michael Caine was good but seem to struggle at times with the Alfred character. The beginning of the movie had too many close up shots of action/battle scenes that should have had a wider shot. The dialogue, at times, maybe it was the theater, was hard to hear. The District attorney looked like she just got out of high school and was hard to believe she had gone to law school and was at such a high position already. This movie, was a fill in the blanks with your imagination movie. Some of the dark moments are very graphic in nightmarish images and young children I would not recommend this movie to. I enjoyed the movie and hope the next one will be better.
